Run for right reason

If you are an elected official or you are running for office, please, if you haven't read the Constitution, do it and get to know it well. It also wouldn't hurt if you read a few Founding Father biographies in the process. Also, I would respectfully ask that you adopt a philosophy of "Do no harm," which requires you lay no heavy burden on the people you serve.

Do everyone a favor, although you have a right to run for office, you would actually be doing your community a service if you didn't run for office. I have known some good elected officials who did a great job, get beat out by popular people who had no idea how to govern. Please don't run if you don't know how to govern, just because you want to hold the office.
